Europe, the enemy is at your gates.
Poor world.
Scary.
Now they do Putin.

Happy Labor Day MAGA. Don’t let Trump BS you, he is the most anti-Labor Union POTUS in U.S.A. history. This is his constituency and you’ll never catch up. Wake the f*ck up.
“He has built a kingdom on lies and illusion, masking the nefarious underworld in which he swims freely by courting an image that corporate media was only to happy to help propagate.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcasl...
Labor Day reminder: Trump is NO friend to organized labor ‼️ He’s ended collective bargaining in federal agencies, kneecapped the National Labor Relations Board, and weakened workplace safety & anti-discrimination protections. Stand with workers. Stand AGAINST Trump.
Presidents Xi, Putin and PM Modi would never be palling around today if it wasn’t for the extraordinary foolishness shown by the president of the United States.
After ICE took over sidewalks near the L.A. Detention Center and VA Hospital, protestors locked their asses up and asked “how does it feel to be locked up without due process?” Excellent work, protestors! #ICEoutofLA
A plane carrying European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was disrupted by jamming that authorities suspect was the result of Russian interference in Bulgaria.
Here's what you need to know to start your day
A plane carrying Ursula von der Leyen was forced to land without GPS navigational aid following a suspected Russian jamming attack
The art of the deal.
CNN confirms that the pilots landed the plane using paper maps. www.cnn.com/2025/09/01/w...
And Trump is not seen and not heard of for days.
🤡 Putin says he is convinced that 🇹🇷Türkiye will continue to play a special role in the "Ukrainian settlement." ❗️Russian representative also said that “there are no restrictions” on military cooperation with Türkiye.
It's worrying.
Let's be hopeful.
President Erdoğan met with Putin in China during the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit. Joined by key Turkish ministers and intelligence officials, the leaders discussed bilateral ties and global issues, including Ukraine. Erdoğan reiterated Turkey’s commitment to a just and lasting peace.
Trump’s unprecedented weaponization of National Guard troops in recent months raises alarming concerns that the administration might be laying the groundwork to interfere with elections in key cities next year and in 2028.
Putin and Modi are visiting China for a major summit, giving Xi a platform to showcase global influence, NYT reports. As Trump distances the US from India and engages Russia, Xi promotes an alternative world order alongside Moscow, supported by a military parade. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/w...
Putin and Modi in China as Xi hosts SCO summit
Thank you Trump and Peter Navarro for strengthening ties between Modi, Putin and China. Erdugan and Russian-leaning Eastern European leaders have joined the party. Modi is having a great time in Beijing.
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
Trump has succeeded in isolating the United States, and the powers that be are shifting. This meeting is a middle finger to Trump - and to the democratic and free world.
Where's Trump? He succeeded to bring them together - without him. A summit of tyrants.
Thhe art of the deal.
Redistricting is unfair, undemocratic, and should be considered illegal by law. But Republicans have blocked the law and are practicing wild redistricting in Red states. They cannot be left to win by fraudulent means and assume all the power to "do what they want," as Trump put it - unchallenged.
He sees himself as the paragon of small minded, petty conservatives, "The real America". laughable how inflated from self-importance, pretentious and oblivious to what a ridiculous pompous ass he is.
Concerning.
As long as crackle barrel's sign isn't changed, MAGA don't care.
NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES #LaborDay DAY 31 AUGUST 2025 THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES Labor Day Weekend Throwback to President Joseph Biden, September 2023. The ONLY President while in office to stand in a picket line Truly cared for the AMERICAN WORKER Trump hates labor #UnionStrong THANK YOU JOE
The right step to take.
This is Parker, she was shot in the head in Los Angeles for protesting ICE kidnappings and ethnic cleansing. She recovered and is now back to protesting because in times of fascism nobody can afford to do nothing. “We need everybody” “I call for revolution, it starts here” #3E

Pete Hegseth in December on military training: “We’re bringing a war-fighting ethos back to the Pentagon. Everything else that distracts from lethality shouldn’t be happening.”
His writing style is called a pompous ass.
This is the true story of what really happened to Rudi.
Look, y'all, this is the real story.
"Newsom is saying two things. First, we’re not going to let Republicans play by different rules anymore. And second, we are going to use our power however we can, no matter what The New York Times editorial board says about it." trib.al/SpzgHnV
Remember who was a great president whise a big heart who cared about all Americans, and who is the one who is like a 5th grader, a bully, petty, vulgar, vindictive, aspiring despot, who sees the presidency as an opportunity to extort and swindle as much as possible for himself.
The vice president on the president.
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
You don't wake up from this nightmare.
The most lawless president in American history
America is under the influence of psychotropic drugs.
Co-deputy director of the FBI? Andrew Bailey's appointment is deeply unusual. But Trump appears to be rewarding Bailey's willingness to back legally dubious, moonshot cases in support of MAGA politics. “If Bailey can do this much damage in Missouri, imagine what he’ll do with federal power.”
An importannt must read🧵
Never forget: everything the Republican Party says about itself is a lie. Everything they accuse the Democrats of is a lie about the Democrats and true about GOP themselves.
The Russians are mocking TACO Trump for not imposing sanctions on Russia although they keep bombing Ukraine and bombed even an American factory in Ukraine on purpose.
These are the five phases of the dictator’s dilemma. It’s really worth understanding this dynamic because it is an inescapable trap. Historically, for people like Trump, it is inevitable. While it’s impossible to know what will happen at Phase 5, we can predict & prepare for it.
He's dying for his boss to croak 🤣🤣
Is Kirk talking about Trump's marriages here?
Trump is a business genius!
🤦🏽♂️😲
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
I don't know whether people remember, but wasn't it boring under a sane president? "Federal policy under President Joe Biden’s administration stated that without “exigent circumstances” agents would not conduct their operations at natural disaster or emergency sites."
The governor with the white boots.
It's a shame they're dismantling it. It could have been used to lock up real criminals, for a change.
Thoughts and prayers.
Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize trans people has completely lost touch with the common humanity."
38,000 gun deaths a year . . . GOP opposes gun control laws. 2 cases of voter fraud a year . . . GOP passes 361 new voter suppression laws. Fascist assholes. #FBR #NoDemUnder5k #NoDemUnder1k #BlueCrew
Psaki: I felt a mixture of anger—a lot of anger—and emotional exhaustion about this today, as I’m sure many of you have, because we have been here so many times. And yet again, like clockwork, half the politicians in our country have little more to offer than thoughts and prayers.
Only the Sudetenland, first.
The moment of a direct hit: two Russian missiles struck a residential building in Kyiv.
Curious what the reasoning for this could possibly be. My first thought it that it was a Putin request
He's croaking 🐸🐸
When Kash Patel and Pam Bondi had fired all FBI and DOJ trained and experienced agents.
NRA paid and bought the conservative members of SCOTUS and the whole of the republican party. Thoughts and prayers: may they all be severely punished for their greed and mortal sins.
It's so sad 😰
On the labour department building wall.
Federal Emergency Management Agency suspended over 30 employees after they wrote to Congress warning that the Trump administration had severely weakened the nation’s ability to respond to hurricanes, floods,
The Trump administration again petitioned the Supreme Court to block the use of billions in foreign aid. The administration urged the justices to overturn a lower court order that requires the government to spend the funds already appropriated by Congress.
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
Rep. Bryan Steil’s constituents tell him he hasn’t represented them in Congress and it’s time for him to go
Do you?
The unpredictable.
‼️🇺🇦 Russia is knocking out gas before winter: the enemy attacked energy and gas transportation infrastructure facilities in Sumy, Poltava, Donetsk, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia regions, — Ministry of Energy
The NYT story about the DOGE breach has additional details and is even more alarming, which you might not have thought was possible. Via Nick Nehamas Free link: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...
Better ask Jewish students (and some professors, too) who feared for their life at the time. Some of them, life long progressive liberals, voted for Republicans at the 2024 election. something they've never imagined they'll do.
It’s continues to be despicable how the media has spent a decade normalizing the orange felon so much so that they are reporting on his authoritarian militarization of Washington DC as if it were a routine military exercise. They deliberately failed democracy for clickbait.
The ones snipers were positioned on the roofs to watch over.
A novelty. America has adopted the Kim Jong-un style.
Now they are marked.
Wow. On NPR, @gbrumfiel.bsky.social reports a Social Security official “copied the Social Security numbers, names and birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private section of the agency's cloud.” The source is a whistleblower, who is named: Charles Borges, SSN chief data officer.
You couldn't tell at the time how the protests will turn. People did fear for their life. It gave the Republicans a lot of votes. The protest Should have been conducted in a much more organized, non violent, civil resistence manner, focused on a beneficial outcome, not on rage.
